Test Indications:

Clinical conditions in which elevated soluble IL-2R levels are detected include AIDS, autoimmune disease, sarcoidosis, and a variety of leukemias and lymphomas. In HIV positive individuals, IL-2R is elevated during the asymptomatic phase as well as during persistent generalized lymphadenopathy and symptomatic phases. IL-2R detection may be useful in measuring T cell activation and monitoring HIV pathogenesis. Elevated IL-2R levels have clinical and prognostic significance in patients with malignant lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, B cell and undifferentiated lymphomas.
